Hello! There are many different brands of tires here in the US. The tires that are on the Bronco are Goodyear TA-KO2's. They are an all around good tire. There are two different versions of these tires. They have the less expensive regular tire and also have the Baja Champion line (which is on the Bronco). They are more expensive but last longer and have really good performance in the snow, dirt roads, and pavement. Only downside is that they will do only ok in mud. They can fill up fast depending on the mud you are on. I hope this answers your question.....let me know if I can help answer anything else!

That is a cool rig you have there! I would love to visit Italy someday, as my grandparents were from Italy/Sicily!

I really like this bronco as well.....I traded in my Jeep 392 for this one. The comfort and ease of driving is so much better.

It took some time to figure how to do it.....here is a link to the build th-cam.com/video/MexSgTzKdk0/w-d-xo.html

I believe Autoterm is the manufacturer.

@@aallan8830 The heater location and temperature were the main factors regarding amperage draw. The heater was placed on the ground outside next to our vehicle with temperatures hovering around 0 Fahrenheit.

@@crawl207 Ok, I thought that only the glow plug and the fan draw current, so that once the unit is ignited and the glow plug shots off, the remaining current is only what the fan draws. Is the temperature of the intake air also a factor in current draw?

Not really. Most of the folks there understood English.

@crawl207 awesome thanks

A car can make it to the trail head.....It's just a dirt road.

it's hard to find places to do light off roading....mostly private owned land and North Maine Woods roads in Maine.

You can't....typical cigarette lighter output is usually 10 amps max. On startup it requires 15 amps. Once running it only pulls 5-7 amps.

@@crawl207 right but I can get a 15 amp AC DC converter

So basically the only way to power this thing is a battery

@@bearlycamping you are correct....the convertor would more than likely overheat or blow a fuse.

It's a possibility....I know they open in the spring/summer and shut down sometime in October.

Thank you so much!

it was very errie walking through there!

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback!

Well said!

Looks like the same train on the left in our video...here's a link to what I found: th-cam.com/video/etwDlaWYf_w/w-d-xo.html

Thanks!

Yes, it is a very hard trail. Originally when it started it was a green/blue trail, which was fairly easy, but now very hard!

It is a Harbor Freight Case. Model is Apache 3800.

Your welcome!

your welcome!

Hello! There are not many trails down in that area, that a Bronco can fit on. Most trails in eastern Maine are with private land owners. The only area that I would suggest is up in Millinocket area. Many different trails and you can see Mt Katahdin, beaches, wildlife, etc. If you come back towards Bangor you can go up Chick Hill or Bald Mountain...just do a search and you will find where the trail starts for both of those.

@@crawl207 thank you so much for the reply! Happy trails

Chick hill in clifton

There is a grave yard, but I've been told it is under water now. It's on the other side of the river from the town.

@@Brraptor The graveyard is not under water, however, it is very difficult to get to. The stream is usually very high and if you go in a different direction the beavers have it dammed up. The graveyard sits up on a hill. BTW, I really enjoyed your video. Great job and great editing!!

it's in Dedham, ME

I wired the switch as indicated in the manual, almost. For convenience I spliced the switch hot with the light hot and fused according to spec.5a/15a. By doing this I saved space in the loom with the caveat of the switch being illuminated once the Anderson connector is plugged into the source, not a deal breaker for me.

Thanks! The North Maine Woods have many different things to see.....

They are made by Leitner Designs

Thanks! The Rugged Ridge snorkel has held up well. After a few years it does fade a little, but there are several products on the market that bring the plastic back to new. No problems. Most of the gear is locked, like the max trax, and the items in the bed are strapped down.

@@crawl207 thanks

It is the Aspen Version 1. Love it so far!

@@crawl207 Good news .. I’m considering buying the Aspen V2 XL

I don't have any photos of the tannery. It seemed as though Amherst was a large town, with a college, looking at historical photos. Unfortunately, there are no photos of the tannery. I have also heard that both tanneries were an insurance job, once the industry started to die down.

The tannery business in Maine and other NE states collapsed around 1900. The big player, Shaw and Bros of Boston, went bankrupt and their many tanneries were sold off. In any event, the advent of chemical tanning of leather made it unnecessary to site tanneries in forests where there was access to Hemlock trees, the bark of which was stripped to make a kind of tea used in tanning leather. Many of the tanneries did burn down around this time. In addition, tanneries didn't last more than 25-30 years because the supply of Hemlock trees became exhausted. Then the tannery would have to relocate. Crews worked in the woods stripping bark and delivering it to the tannery.

That's a solution yet to be resolved. We currently have a 5 gallon pressurized scepter can yet to be installed, due to the winter up here.

I appreciate your feedback and the tip about running straight kerosene!

Thank you from Russia 🇷🇺

Your welcome! Let me know if you have any other questions.

We were all spaced out about the same. The conditions were very slippery and at times all we could see were the chase lights, other times we were in a tight group. Conditions change in the Maine North Woods from one moment to the other.

@@crawl207 OK thanks for responding! It just looked like sometimes you was a half of mile apart but I know videos don't always look like what's realy happening. Thanks!

if you do metal detect, just do it for the enjoyment....don't take anything from Riceville. I know a lot of folks that have and had very bad things happen to them soon after leaving there with something.......

Thanks!

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!

these are all open logging roads at the time of the video.

It definitely is.....from beaches to mountains.....

Thanks!
